This "new" Terrelle Pryor was vastly better than the old one.

Pryor threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead No. 18 Ohio State to a 38-7 win over Minnesota on Saturday.

"You hear he can't throw and he can't do this or that," Pryor said of the heat he faced after blowing up in a loss the previous week at Purdue. "The criticism is a bit crazy and you have to live with it. That's why it was so important that we won today."
